Sanbot: The best robot home assistant on the market

Have you ever wanted a personal assistant that is always by your side 24/7? Amazon's Alex comes close but she comes with one glaring problem: she just sits in one room. When you think personal assistant you don't think of a glorified computer, you want an actual assistant. Sanbot is the best robot out there so far when it comes to personal assistants.

So, what is Sanbot? Sanbot is basically what happens when you strap an Amazon Echo to a Roomba and give it machine learning AI. The result is a great personal assistant. She can either work autonomously or be manually controlled through a smartphone. She comes equipped with a projector, lights, and facial recognition technology. Through these features, you can do amazing things. For example, you tell Sanbot to find your daughter and ask her if she wants Ice Cream when you get back home. Then, you receive her response in either text or video form.

Sanbot can also serve as a great radio and music player. The best part is that this radio follows you anywhere you go. Earbuds and headphones get uncomfortable and in the way, Sanbot knows how far to keep her distance. The same can be applied to phone calls. Maybe your hands are busy and you want to be on the move. Now you can walk around your house, talking on the phone through Sanbot, and she will follow you.

If you have trouble waking up in the morning, then maybe Sanbot can help. Sanbot will roll up to the foot of your bed and set off an alarm. Unlike a regular alarm clock, you can't trick Sanbot by just turning off the alarm and going back to sleep. When Sanbot says it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up. Sanbot will keep annoying you until she finds a way of getting you out of bed for good, and then repeat that next time. This is machine learning. The best technologies of our time have come together in this little robot just to get you out of bed on time.

Of course, Sanbot isn't just limited to these basic tasks. These are just examples and maybe you have a special situation that Sanbot would work perfectly in. Thanks to an open API, Sanbot's functionality stretches as far as your imagination does.
